Committee on Defence and National Security

General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Colm Doyle:

We are, however, talking about a situation where that is under threat and we must be mature and independent enough to be able to make our own decisions with as much support as we can. If the General Assembly was given the authority to sanction a peacekeeping mission without going to the Security Council, that would be fine.
